FAO/Grifi, Ivan (AGNP)

Solange Heise is a Nutrition Education consultant working for FAO Malawi in a Flanders International Cooperation Agency supported program “ Improving food security and nutrition policies and program outreach in Kasungu and Mzimba districts”. Solange works on linking food security and nutrition education and supports the district ministries of agriculture and health to improve family and young child nutrition.

In the following interview, Solange talks about her actions to make agriculture work for nutrition (interviewed by Liliane Kambirigi/FAO):
